No mmo right now, can't find one that is worth the time. I have been trying anything that looks interesting to me, which has not been many, but still havent found one that grabs me for any good length of time.

/rant

Most games now are F2P and I don't bother with any of them, F2P/Cash Shops are a cancer to gaming and I hope it brings down all the companies exploiting it soon so they concentrate once again on making good quality games.

The sooner people realise this, the sooner we all can move on from these Dark Ages of Cash shop gaming we are in now. I doubt this will change anytime soon, too many people keep tossings money at these companies to allow them to keep throwing out repainted, rehashed old systems resulting in sub par games for them to stop.

Maybe the recent and ongoing increase in Indie companies trying to get into the MMO market is a good thing. We will see soon when some of them start releasing. Some will probably just come out swinging trying to grab some quick cash cloaked behind games made by gamers for gamers type slogins, but there might be a few that are actually made by passionate people trying to make an actual great interesting game... Oh what the hell am I saying they are all after our wallets. Not sure how or where the genre can go from here. Maybe we havent hit bottom yet, if thats the case I don't think it can be that much longer before we do, than the only way to go is up.

I have been trying to stay positive though for the most part, there has to be a game or two coming out that will reshape or change the direction of the genre soon. Its been awhile since we had one of those and its only a matter of time before one comes along.

/rant

So in a nut shell there is my answer to why I'am not playing any at this time. :)

If your into cash shop's being all up in your games, you must be in heaven.

To be honest i cant stand cash shops. I liked it better when the devs made a good game worth paying $15 a month and i was happy. Now to me anyways it just seems like dev's are making quick generic mmo's and making them f2p and adding cash shops to make a quick buck. The only game that i have been paying attetion to that looks like the devs took there time is dark fall unholy wars and i will most likely be playing that if i like it. I agree i hope this cash shop kick that most devs seem to be going for is just a phase and will pass. Im not expecting anything good this year for mmo's thoe...

1/ old school feelings : non instanced open world (only instances are actually instanced), miriads of NPCs and secret quests.

2/ Open PvP dramas all day ! Pure drama really since dying is meaningless in the game. So even if you are being PKed a lot, witch will hardly happen due to the infamy system : it's no problem if you have no anger-management issues.

So, how is Defiance? is the questing ok? or is it just as i think....a massive shooter online with public quests?

The questing is less public, more phased. Sometimes others doing the same thing at the same time can join you, but you can be with someone in your party and they'll disappear in an area if they're out of phase. A bit disconcerting. It is, mostly, a massive shooter online, but the persistent world gives it a nice MMO feel. And to be honest... it's a lot of fun. It really is. It'll be my second game to go with Guild Wars 2.

Main MMO is and will continue to be GW2. I could go into details, but long story short it's a great game that tosses out a lot of stale and stagnant MMO concepts and replaces them with an active combat and a world that feels like it's living and breathing. Best MMO on the market, period, in my opinion.

Among MMOs, just GW2. I have largely run out of stuff to do in the game and I don't pvp, but I still find it to be one of the best games. I love the combat on my thief, I like GW lore and the world is pretty.

Mostly playing Skyrim and Fallout 3 with lots of mods, trying to finish Witcher 2 and recently started a new game of Neverwinter Nights 2.

I'm waiting for Neverwinter and TESO but I know both of them will be 1-2 months of fun and then I'll be done with them both. They just don't make MMOs like they used to :(

I tried Neverwinter beta twice. Both times I literally fell asleep, not figuratively, literally. I have narcolepsy, though, so it happens . . . but very rarely while being entertained. I did manage to report a bug before I gave up though . . .
